First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This study tested a new device called NEURESCUE that uses a balloon to redirect blood flow to the heart and brain during cardiac arrest. Six adults who were not responding to standard CPR received the device. The main goal was to see if doctors could inflate the balloon within 10 minutes. The study focused on whether the procedure is feasible, not on long-term recovery.
